About Me

CURRENT MISSION

dream my life and live my dreams

ABOUT ME

I'm open minded, love adventures and sharing experiences.

and...I´m sorry, I know it´s a commonplace BUT still:
I like getting to know new people, in fact I reckon I´m addicted to travelling (however I´d refuse straight ahead a package tour, staying in a 5-star hotel ). I like cultural diversity, and however I consider myself a daydreamer when it´s about travelling I want to see and feel the reality.

PHILOSOPHY

Don´t cry ´cause it´s over, smile ´cause it´s happened!

"The things really worth living for can never be had for money...Feeling happy from time to time, that doesn't cost you a penny...But the petty-bourgeoisie have lived so long by supplying one another with unimportant things with a cash value they've forgotten the things that aren't to be had for money, and they attach importance only to things that are expensive. That is the greatest madeness."
/Antal Szerb: Journey by Moonlight/

(the best Hungarian writer...at least for me)music:hmm...often depends on my mood but mostly chill out/ambient/electro-folk and jazz. I also collect music from different countries during my travelling so I'm getting to have a nice collection:)
